Re: Team update #11
Here's my interpretation.... If a robot cannot come in contact with it, then it's probably likely that a bystander cannot inadvertently touch it. That's the key word.
I think they threw everyone for a loop with the bystander part in that the original rule only states that it cannot come in contact with other robots. But I would think that if it's within your starting envelope, and it's not able to come in contact with another robot, then you're probably safe with the bystander. Think of it as... if a bystander falls over, or gets off balance and accidentally bumps into it, puts their hand down and comes in contact with it, get hurts, etc.... If not, then you're probably ok.
Guess we'll find out what the inspectors interpretation is.
